However, China also supported hybrid regimes. Then, China always selected soft and not hard power; military pressure has been indirect. There were strong emulative processes of both Myanmar and Thailand. Chinese pragmatism promoted both options since, if China opposed hybrid regimes, this could cause the defeat of the military and the possible victory of pro-Western and anti-Chinese political actors. In order to avoid this result, Beijing governments adopted a more flexible autocracy promotion, reflecting a real-politik approach to foreign policy, which allowed to preserve Chinese diplomatic interests. Nella sua autocracy promotion verso i regimi militari di Myanmar e Thailand, la Cina ha applicato soprattutto incentivi ma anche ricatti. La Cina ha comunque sostenuto anche i regimi ibridi. Poi, la Cina ha sempre preferito il soft all’hard power; la pressione militare è stata indiretta. Si sono sviluppati così forti processi imitativi sia da parte del Myanmar che della Tailandia. Il pragmatismo cinese ha promosso entrambe le opzioni, perché se le Cina avesse ostacolato i regimi ibridi, ciò avrebbe causato la sconfitta delle forze armate e la possibile vittoria degli attori politici filo-occidentali e anti cinesi. Per evitare tale esito, i governi di Pechino hanno adottato una autocracy promotion flessibile, attraverso l’applicazione della real-politik alla politica estera, per tutelare gli interessi diplomatici cinesi.
